Precision scope: Primary virtual address point for 127 Todd Road; source location descriptor PART is retained. The exact operator address and CP172440L government site record bind the campus. Not a surveyed entrance, full campus boundary, built footprint or June30 work extent; not the near-coincident non-primary entrance point.

No feature-specific quantitative positional-accuracy estimate is supplied by the selected point source. Coordinate digits are retained without asserting survey accuracy.

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
